Looks like Charlie Hourston of Beaquoy, middle row, 3rd from right. Is there no 'context' for this photo?

1st right back row Tommy Tulloch 4th left middle row Harry Rendall Dalespot St Ola 2sc left bottom row Jim Findlay.
Harry & Jim were prisoners of war in World War 2.

Douglas Cooper was also a POW in WW2. Perhaps that is the connection?

Charlie Hourston was another WW2 POW - captured during the German airborne invasion of Crete in 1941. If the above photo shows a group of ex-POWs it must be dated later than 1940.

Apologies re date. Of course this photo must have been taken in the `50s
